We don't have **Create 1099** button under taxes menu. how do i file 1099 NEC for non payroll contractor

Hello there, arseas.

I'll ensure you can create a 1099 for your contractor in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

In QBO, the option to create a 1099 is found in the Expenses and Payroll tab, not in the Taxes menu. Let me outline the steps for further guidance.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll or Expenses tab and click Contractors.
2. From the Contractors menu, select Prepare 1099s.
3. Ensure that your company name, email, address, and tax ID are correct and match what's found on tax notices or letters from the IRS. If you need to make changes, select the Edit icon.
4. Select Confirm info and get started.
5. Click Select Accounts, and choose or confirm the accounts used for your 1099 expenses or payments, then select Add.
6. Next to each account added, select the 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC boxes that represent the type of payments made to your contractors this year and click Next. Make sure to choose your boxes carefully.
7. Enter and select all the needed information.
8. Then click Continue to E-File to e-file your 1099s or select I’ll print and mail to print and mail the forms yourself.
